First Artesian Fair

These are some of the images of the first artesian fair that DHF held. Not only was it DHF's first fair, but for many of the women it was also their first fair and chance to sell their products outside of their home. We had 21 women participate with everything from jewelry, marmalade, blankets, hats, ponchos, shawls, sweaters, and fresh food. I was very impressed - I didn't realize our women make such gorgeous things. The good news is that we had lots of people stop by and check us out, the bad news is that the women didn't get to sell too much. Being that it was our first time, I think everyone learned a lot - and we have lots of ideas of how to improve and make our next fair better. We'll have music, announcements, more food (stomach is what brings people in) and the women now have a better idea of how to display their products and better prep. I think the next one will be at the end of June - you all are invited!
